Here we go, proof that the U.N. Oil-for-Food program was about as corrupt as one can get, and that France, Russia, and Germany, our stalwart foes in the battle to depose Saddam, were much more concerned about lining their own pockets than about terrorists, WMDs, or the millions of people living under Saddam's regime.

It still amazes me that any intelligent, learned human can support the United Nations, other than those who are lined up at the trough with Kofi Anan et al. This is an entity that has proven itself to be a bloated, useless organization in so many respects that the many calls to boot them out of their mostly-free headquarters in New York are justified. Let them move to France. The only people who would miss them are the 5 star restaurants where they take their meals while discussing problems like those annoying poor, hungry people all over the world.

Joke of the Week

One afternoon a lawyer was riding in his limousine when he saw two men along the roadside eating grass. Surprised, he ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate. He asked one man, "Why are you eating grass?"

"We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied. "We have to eat grass."

"Well, then, you can come with me to my house and I'll feed you" the lawyer said.

"But sir, I have a wife and two children with me. They are over there, under that tree."

"Bring them along" the lawyer replied. Turning to the other poor man he stated, "You come with us, too."

The second man, in a pitiful voice then said, "But sir, I also have a wife and SIX children with me!"

"Bring them all, as well," the lawyer answered.

They all entered the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limousine was.

Once underway, one of the poor fellows turned the lawyer and said, "Sir, you are too kind. "Thank you for taking all of us with you."

The lawyer replied, "Glad to do it. You'll really love my cabin in the country, the grass is almost a foot high."
